UNSPSC 50614004: Canned or jarred Non GMO snow peas

The variety of Non GMO green peas known as Non GMO snow peas that have been canned or jarred for preservation. This means that they are produced without the use of methods that genetically modify organisms by means that are not possible under natural conditions. Such methods include cell fusion, microencapsulation and macro-encapsulation, and recombinant DNA technology (including gene deletion, gene doubling, introducing a foreign gene, and changing the positions of genes when achieved by recombinant DNA technology).

Traditional methods of breeding, conjugation, fermentation, hybridization, in vitro fertilization, or tissue culture are considered to be non-GMO.

UNSPSC 50614004 Canned or jarred Non GMO snow peas (Commodity) reflects state and local procurement of shelf-stable prepared vegetables and food service supplies for institutional food operations. Recent solicitations under this code show state agencies, school districts, and county governments purchasing canned and jarred vegetables as components of broad-scope food supply contracts serving correctional facilities, state supported living centers, school nutrition programs, and county social services operations. The work encompasses purchasing individual commodity line items priced per case or unit within multi-category food procurement that typically includes proteins, dairy, dry goods, and consumable supplies alongside vegetables. Issuing bodies span state health and human services departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice via the Comptroller of Public Accounts), state corrections agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections), county governments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia), and school districts (Ben Hill County Schools and Burke County Public Schools in Georgia). These jurisdictions issue bids repeatedly—Texas HHSC and the Oregon Department of Corrections each appear multiple times in recent postings—indicating recurring annual or multi-year contracting cycles for food replenishment.

Activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with additional state-level procurement visible in Illinois. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' June 2026 IFB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (responding vendors received 5 percent evaluation preference for Oregon-fabricated or Oregon-resident status, delivery to Salem, Oregon by July 27, 2026); the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' October 2026 informal written quote for 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned vegetables to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center in Lawrenceville, Georgia (due October 19, 2026); and the Texas HHSC's May 2026 IFB HHS0016792V2 for supplemental food and consumables across state hospitals and state supported living centers statewide, encompassing 210 line items with bids due March 19, 2026 and a potential contract value of $4.5 million over three years. All recent solicitations specify FOB Destination delivery, compliance with USDA grade standards and FDA labeling requirements, minimum shelf-life guarantees (commonly 12 months), and firm fixed pricing with adjustments permitted only at contract renewal, if at all.
